One day later, “Nas Album Done” reaches the masses. Sample aside, it’s the lyrics and intensity that make this moment special—along with the message. For those hungry for a charged up Nasir Jones, this is that. Spotted at HipHopDX, the MC uses the moment, with L-Boogie’s distorted vocals from The Score to channel Khaled’s album theme, and let the world know that he’s just warming up, again.

Short bars, crystal clear images of grandeur, and Queensbridge confidence drive this verse. Check out some of these excerpts:

“Now everywhere, all I see is ‘Pablo’ ‘Esco’ / Last time I checked, I was still breathin’ / My neck still freezin’ / Now everybody got an Escobar Season / To every baby on an album cover existin’ / This trend I was settin’, it came to fruition / I’m insistin’ / To push the culture forward.”

Clearly, Nasty Nas is well aware of some of the moves from his homies, Kanye West, Game, Lil Wayne, and Kendrick Lamar. Mr. Jones reminds everybody that he’s here, and has been doing it for 25 years and counting.
